PLANNING A TRIP TO CANADA ?

Entry Requirement: For entry into Canada (or the U.S. on the tour extension), both U.S. and Canadian citizens must possess a valid passport with an expiration date that extends at least six months beyond the date of reentry.
If you are not a U.S. or Canadian citizen, you should contact your destination country's consulate to determine the specific entry requirements.
U.S. citizens must have valid government-issued identification for air travel within the United States. Starting May 7, 2025, state-issued IDs or driver's licenses used for air travel must meet Real ID requirements. Real ID-compliant versions of these IDs will display either a yellow or black star, a white star inside a yellow or black circle, or a white star inside a bear in the top right-hand corner. For more information, visit dhs.gov.
Similarly, Canadian citizens need valid government-issued identification for air travel within Canada.

Baggage: It's important to be aware that each traveler is restricted to one checked bag and one carry-on bag due to limited storage space on motor coaches and other transportation, such as train connections or flights, that are part of the tour.
For specific details on baggage size and weight restrictions, including on-tour flights and your round-trip flights to and from the tour, please contact your airline(s) directly. Keep in mind that the baggage limits for the included on-tour flights may be more restrictive.
Keep in mind that some airlines may apply additional charges if you decide to check any baggage or exceed the size and weight limitations. Please be advised that you are responsible for covering any baggage fees incurred on all flights.
To ensure smooth travel, it's recommended to label your baggage and keep valuable items, medication, and important documents in your carry-on bag.

Packing Tips: Packing tip: It is advisable to pack lightweight and loose-fitting clothing that can be easily layered to adapt to changing temperatures. Don't forget to include a light jacket or rainwear for unpredictable weather conditions.
For spring and fall departures, ensure your comfort during outdoor sightseeing by packing a warm coat, hat, and gloves. Avoid wearing cotton whenever possible, as it is not the most effective insulator.
For sightseeing, it is recommended to have a sturdy pair of walking shoes or sneakers.
If you plan to visit high-end restaurants or attend special performances, consider packing dressier attire for those occasions.

Health: Before your departure, it is essential to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider at least 60 days in advance to stay informed about the latest updates and entry requirements. You can also visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website at cdc.gov for additional information.
During the summer months, be cautious about sun exposure and heat, taking necessary precautions to protect yourself.
If you require daily medication, ensure that you have an adequate supply for the entire tour duration, considering any potential delays that might occur.
For those with dietary restrictions or food allergies, please notify Voyages Hub at least 30 days before departure by updating your traveler information in your account. If you need to update this information closer to your departure date, please contact our Customer Experience Team.

Cuisine: Canadian cuisine shares many similarities with British cuisine, and Americans will also find several familiar elements. During your time in Canada, consider sampling local favorites such as butter tarts, poutine, and dishes featuring maple syrup.

Health and Insurance: Consider obtaining travel insurance to cover any unexpected medical expenses. Make sure you have any necessary vaccinations recommended by your healthcare provider.

Currency: The official currency in Canada is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). It is advisable to have some cash on hand, but credit cards are widely accepted.

Language: Canada has two official languages, English and French. English is spoken in most regions, but in Quebec and parts of other provinces, French is predominant.

Electrical Outlets: The standard voltage in Canada is 120V, and the plugs are of type A and B. If your devices use a different voltage or plug type, bring appropriate adapters.

Wifi: Most hotels offer Wi-Fi, but there might be some associated charges in certain cases. Wi-Fi is not available on any of the motor coaches. For information about roaming charges, please get in touch with your mobile service provider.
